SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When you ask an agent how to do a specialized task, there may already be a packaged skill that handles it. This Skill removes the guesswork of discovering, evaluating, and installing those reusable capability packages. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Discovery: Searches the open agent skills ecosystem with npx skills find [query] using domain-specific keywords like react, testing, or deployment. - Guided Installation: Installs skills globally with npx skills add <owner/repo@skill> -g -y and presents links to skills.sh for details. - Fallback Handling: When no skill matches, it offers direct help and suggests creating a custom skill with npx skills init. - Use Case: You ask "how do I make my React app faster?" and the agent runs npx skills find react performance, then presents the vercel-react-best-practices skill with an install command. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to find a skill for the task you want to accomplish, such as "find a skill for PR reviews".
